Customer Reviews CW-X PerformX™ Tight

I ordered these on a whim after reading the comments one day before the ING-half marathon and they were superb. I normally run in shorts, never again. I was not hot and they were super comfortable. My knees normally hurt like heck after mile 3 no pain whatsoever! They were attractive, comfortable and well worth the price. I am 5'9 and 150 and the medium is a great fit. Go CW-X go Zappos!

The CW-X PreformX Tights are a must-have for any runners' wardrobe. Anyone looking for a great compression pant will not be disappointed. The fit is tight - as expected - but my legs, hips, and calves have felt so much better since running in these tights. There is absolutely no chaffing; no problems on my 20 mile run. The waist hits just below the belly button and you will need to use the drawstring to keep them in place. The bottom hits just above the ankle. Great quality and worth the price. I am 5'4" and 120 training for a marathon. Size small was perfect. I just received CW-X compression shorts for my warmer weather runs and they are awesome if you are looking for a warmer weather alternative.

I have lipo-lymphedema and just finished the first part of my therapy. Exercise is next and my physical therapist recommended these tights to help keep the fluid from returning to my legs as I exercise. I have to say I was a bit scared taking them out of the package; however, once I finished putting them on I felt fantastic just standing there wearing them! Exercising in them is even better; I've never felt so supported and they make me want to go longer. I've actually slept in them once and they kept my fluid from returning overnight which was amazing! I'm 5'4" 140lbs and the small was tight but fit great once I got them on. Just ordered my 2nd pair after having the 1st pair less than a week. Last pair came the next day. Go Zappos!

I purchased these compression tights for use under my ski pants, and for general sports use. For skiing, they were really helpful in reducing fatigue and knee pain. I am looking forward to using them under my sailing gear when spring arrives. They would likely be too warm for me in summer. I will likely buy another pair, I like them so much.

Excellent choice for daily walks/trails - knees in particular with little or no muscle fatigue at the end of day. Worth every penny spent in the purchase of same.

I'm a 5'1” and a 110lbs. and I bought these pants in XS and they fit perfectly. This pant gives a lot of knee support and even if it's a little difficult to put them on because being very tight, once on they feel unbelievably comfortable.

This garment is worth every penny. I'm not a runner, but an avid walker and they genuinely do a fabulous job in keeping my legs fatigue free. I indulge in a daily 5 mile trex with my dogs. From a fashion point of view, they're quite attractive, though initially a wee bit difficult to get on. After 1st attempt, it's pretty much easy going. Roll them up as you would panty hose and viola you're off and walking/ running. There's no sagging and bagging with these puppies. Wash with Woolite in cold water, gentle cycle and hang to dry. I'm a 5'ter, 98 lbs and the xs, fits perfectly. For taller individuals, the length will of course be more Capri-ish. Absolutely fabulous and functional. Worth every penny and Zappos customer service is outstanding to say the least.

Purchased these for long runs. They are very fitted. Offers good support during my run. Not to warm but felt good on 20 degree morning. Wish they were all black as the curves aren't flattering in my opinion, but they are more functional than fashionable. No gusset making underwear a must. Key pocket is open on top, no flap, but tights are so tight that risk of losing key is very small.

As a previous reviewer wrote, I, too, have moderate lymphedema after a surgery, and a DVT on top of that. My issues with swelling are mostly in the lower abdomen, but sometimes also in the DVT affected leg after a long walk. I am over a month out from the initial event, and the acute swelling is gone. I have compression hose, but they are not as effective for abdominal support. I am ordering my second pair of the PerformiX tights right now. The swelling has markedly been reduced in my abdomen since I have been wearing these tights and my legs are back to normal. Yes, even with normal all day wear, these tights do slip down, and when I take them off, the knees are slightly baggy, but I am more willing to struggle into these in the mornings than the compression hose. They are not hot under long pants, they support the body under the waist incredibly well. I am not a runner, but I walk, and the difference is quite noticeable. For the record, I am 120 pounds and 5'4" and I am happy with the hip and leg compression I get with the size small.

I have been running for 15+ years and these are the best performance wear ever! First time out and I doubled my distance.

I love these tights! Support should be in the label. I usually run with a light knee wrap whether my knee is bothering me or not, but with these tights, the support and compression is so firm and comfortable, that I do not need it (for short runs). Not to mention they are very stylish. I usually shy away from full pants, getting them on may make you break a sweat giggling, but the compression on these make my bottom half look pretty darn good and smooth.

Only one word can describe these pants: awesome. Have recommended them to everyone I talk to that runs.

I LOVE THESE TIGHTS! Maybe it’s a coincidence, but the first time I wore them, I got a PR on my front squat, by like 20 pounds! These REALLY help keep things in line. I never thought a pair of tights would make a difference with my workouts, but these really do! Yes, these are expensive, but they are worth every penny. And if you don’t like them, Zappos has the best return policy ever! Try them - pretty sure you will be ordering a 2nd or 3rd pair!

Purchased these for long runs. Very fitted. Offers lot of support. Wish they were solid black as the waves make my thighs look huge. More functional than fashionable. No gusset so I wear boyshorts under. Not too warm but were warm enough on a 20 degree morning.

These are great compression tights. Just completed a full marathon with them - have always run in shorts before - and I was back in the gym doing cardio the next day! Trust the size chart though - I got SM (5’, 112 lbs) and had to get another pair of XS as the Smalls were too big - gave them to a friend!

I wore these for the first time today and they are a great tight. They need to fit snug, but they did breathe and had great support and no seam abrasion or slippage. Definitely a must for a runner!

These freaking rock! I love the way they feel when running. Comfortable and supportive, my knee felt stronger somehow. Only downside was that they would ride down when running.

The product is wonderful. I will always order from Zappos! They exceeded my expectations. I received my CW-X PerformX Tight in 2days from the time I order them. I love the tights they are amazing. They are not extremely difficult to put on. The seat of the pants sags a little. I have to pull them up occasionally. However, I will order another pair soon!

Wow! This is my first time ordering from Zappos and I am 100% satisfied. I didn't believe they could live up to their promise. They when beyond what I expected. I can't believe how fast I received the product. The CW-X PerformX Tight is everything and more. I am 5'5 and needed a medium size. They are not extremely difficult to put on. However, the seat is a little big - loose which means I have to occasionally pull them up.

I bought these tights because I saw others in my yoga class wearing them; our leader said that the "web" helps hold the muscles steady. I have worn them once so far and love them! The temp here is 70 degrees, and although I was worried they would be warm, they aren't in the least. They really do keep my body temp even. They are tight, and a bit difficult to get on, but once they are on, they feel great! And they really do hug the legs, so that even in vigorous stretches my muscles feel very comfortable.

I own these tights and love them. My legs feel better during and after my runs as compared to running with shorts only. The compression really makes a difference. These tights are literally meant to be tight and I had to wear them a few times before they were actually comfortable. They are high quality material and construction. I will buy more of this brand.

I am very happy with these tights, especially for the price. I got them to stabilize my knee, so I got a small because I wanted to make sure they were very snug. I am 5'3&" and 128 lbs and they are very snug, but that is what I like about them. They are a little hard to get off and on, but not impossible. Legs felt so good, both before and after running. They are also great under looser running pants for cold weather. The only down side is a slight roughness on inner thigh on one side. I only felt it occasionally and could probaly use runners cream to block it.

These tights are the ticket for those of us who continue to run with IT and hip flexor issues. I noticed a difference and felt better after my first run wearing them.

Excellent choice for athletic wear. Best used with running, or cycling. Item can also be used as a base layer on cold days. Reduces fatigue on wear. Decreases the effects of soreness from workouts.This tight has a breathable fabric and patented pattern for less muscle fatigue. Extremely comfortable and slimming, wearer can usually buy one size up or down and be comfortable. Durable, has endured over 100 washes from me and looks great. An excellent value at double the price!

Excellent compression tights, perfect for cool weather (50-ish degree range). Excellent support and (for a tight) relatively flattering. Fit true to sizing chart and are made of high quality materials.
